Very windy this day and hard to find museum looked very small and when we walked in there was no one at the desk and we got in trouble for taking pictures with a flash, but it was very dark inside and kinda scary.

The magic oracle


The Magic Oracle - From Magnes Sive De Arte Magnetica (Rome 1641) Kirchers second and most significant book on magnetic phenomena consists of 3 sectors, the 1st describing the nature and properties of magnets, the 2nd on practical applications including navigation and mechanical curiosities and finally a philospohical discussion on how magnmetism and analogous forces conspire to define all of nature



Periaktoi - is a device used for displaying and rapidly changing theatre scenes. It consists of a revolving solid isosceles triangular prism made of wood. On each of its three faces, a different scene is painted, so that, by revolving quickly the periaktos, another face can appear to the audience.
